Vivian's OT let us borrow this honey bear turned into a sippy cup. It helps kids learn to sip from a straw: as I gently squeeze the bear, water is pushed up the straw. Vivian has generally treated this bear with complete disdain for a month, pushing it away with utter contempt. The other night Granny was over for dinner, and in true Vivian fashion, my daughter picked up the bear sippy cup and started sipping from its straw.
The way that girl keeps tricks up her sleeves is so enjoyable.

About Me

- I'm on a different path than I ever thought I would be as a new mom - but it's turning out to be a beautiful path. My idea of a perfect day: hot morning coffee, laughing with my baby, walking in the hills, lunch with friends, some backyard squirrel watching and dinner and a glass of wine with my husband. Life's thrown us some curve balls - but life is all about the curves, isn't it?

OMG! Viv, you are just flippin' adorable! I am going to eat you up! I am going to have to make one of those (just put a regular straw in a honey bear?) because E has not figured out the straw yet.
Oh how sweet!! Just love love love the blowing kisses. Don't you just love how they put things up there sleeves and pull them out when they feel it is time to? Way to drink out of your honey bear Vivian. You are such an adorable sweet little girl!
Awwww so cute, Vivian! Jubilee's OT will be getting her one of those honeybear bottles too (and we have the same bib!). Now we know what to expect- didn't think they would be made from those honey containers.
J enjoyed that video a lot. Now he keeps blowing kisses at the computer!
Where can I get a cup like this????

Hugs,
Crystal and Eva
WOW! Oh my goodness...seriously? I am first amazed that she can drink (no Gtube I'm presuming?) and that she has already figured out the straw. I am seriously sitting here in AWE (a little bit of jealousy I admit it, ok?), and complete happiness and pride for Miss Vivian. That is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO AMAZING! (ANd mighty I add...she is just too stinkin' cute!!!)
